The dainty female stopped as he approached, eyes turned to look at him. One was a pale blue, the other an emerald green. She seemed to ache in a way. Her eyes told a great deal. At first, he wondered if she was lost inside as well as out. But then she lifted her head to fully look at him. Her voice spoke out, thickly Irish. She had a lovely voice, the cadence graceful. So familiar. Mismatched blue and gold eyes searched the green and blue, studying what lay in their depths. She must have been through trauma recently. His instincts welled up, urging him to step close and embrace her, comfort her. But he resisted, unsure of how the lass would react to a complete stranger doing such a thing. She seemed to gain some new awareness at that moment, eyes taking in the bloodstained Battlefield. Her curious question made a smile pull at his muzzle. ?This is the Battlefield. Some wolves come here to start fights. Some come to answer challenges, and still others come to be claimed or find a new home. My own home is Valhalla. I?m the male Beta there. It?s a lovely place in all its seasons, though with my thick black fur I prefer Winter, Autumn, and Spring to Summer.? He gave her a light wink. Then he turned gently serious. ?What brings you yourself out to this place?? |
